Metso Expansion

Metso Minerals Industries Inc., Brunswick, OH, is expanding its manufacturing operations. The new fabrication facility is in the northeastern section of Ohio near the company's existing engineering and manufacturing facility. It will have a total crane capacity of 80 tons and is expected to double the fabrication capacity of the company's Ohio operations. To support the increased production, the company has added personnel in the automation, mechanical design, electrical design, and controls departments, along with control-panel building and assembly. The expansion is part of the company's ongoing effort to be the preferred supplier of precision-engineered equipment and turnkey-systems for North America's bulk material-handling industry.
